First World Feminism

What's the point of this website?

A fair question. Two quick answers:

1. Those of us lucky enough to live in the most progressive parts of the world tend to focus on how good we have it, and yet we still haven’t achieved true gender equality.

2. I’m over trying to pitch women’s magazines. I find that if the story isn’t about slimmer thighs for summer, they’re just not interested.

This stuff is important, I’ll try not to make it too dry.

New York Magazine: You’ve said that actresses shouldn’t need to lose weight, then you lost a lot.

Janeane Garofalo: They shouldn’t have to, but I was heavier and it really gets you almost nowhere. So yeah, I fucking sold out. It’s just easier.
